The levels of the world slide example: A 1st level party will encounter some orcs, a 5th level party encounters some trolls, a 10th level party encounters a fire giant, a 15th party encounters a 15th level kobold sorcerer, and a 20th level party encounters a hungry old red dragon.The levels of the world stay fixed example.The party encounters some orcs:  The first level party is challenged.  5th and up- easy.  Would this even be worth mentioning to a 20th level party?The party encounters an old red dragon:  The 1st and 5th level party are toast combat wise.  I'm sorry you guys freshly rolled up characters just died, but there was a dragon on this road, and hey you looked like a snack.  I'm guessing that most people would call this bad GMing.Does any GM really design up a single level independent adventure. Is this realistic -no, but neither is ANYTHING really realistic about D&D.  That's the fun of it.</blockquote>
